Visa Inc (NYSE:V, ETR:3V64) late Tuesday reported better than expected financial results for its fourth quarter 2025, as the global payments giant’s payment volume growth accelerated quarter over quarter.
The company’s revenue for the period rose 12% year over year to $10.7 billion, surpassing the $10.6 billion analyst consensus estimate provided by FactSet.
Visa also posted adjusted earnings per share for the quarter of $2.98, beating the Wall Street forecast by $0.01.
The company saw 9% growth in payment volume for Q4, an improvement from the 8% growth realized in the previous quarter.
As well, Visa recorded 12% year-over-year growth in cross-border volume, which includes international travel and e-commerce transactions between buyers and sellers based in different countries.
Visa CEO Ryan McInerney noted the company’s results were driven by “continued healthy consumer spending.”
Looking ahead, Visa said it expects a low-single-digit revenue growth rate for fiscal 2026.
Analysts, though, were anticipating $44.2 billion in annual revenue, implying 10.5% growth.
